"Mom let's talk!"

As I was getting the typical Monday stuff done I quickly stopped folding laundry when my Avery said, "Mom let's talk."

We talked about our move to Cincinnati and when I told her she would have her own room she quickly replied, "Score....YES!" (Score???Ha!) She has been sharing her room with her little sister who use to wake Avery up from time to time. Avery never has complained. She also loves Avery's toys and loves to destroy her doll house. Avery rarely complains about that either. Based on this comment, I think she is excited to have her own space! She deserves it.....especially because she always keeps her space clean!

She then wanted to plan Thomas birthday and all that WE needed to do together to get it planned. I was cracking up at her ideas. We are going to be making a cake together, plan some games that she made up, and we will both put up the decorations. She has it all figured out so I just have to help her execute it. She must have talked for 30 min. none stop. I love and cherish those "mom let's talk" moments! Luckily, they happen often. She is growing up too fast. I love her so much and have always had so much fun with her. As she is growing up I see a great leader in her. She makes friends so easy and often gathers them up and starts a game with kids she doesn't even know. Like the other day at the mall we were playing in the play area where she had a group of 5 girls playing some made up game and after I told her we had to go, she was arranging for them to meet up the next day. Where is that timid little girl? She is a girl with mission and a plan. She still asks me every night what we will do the next day. I just plan on continuing to cherish these conversations and moments while I have them. I have a feeling I will have them for a long time!!
